LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my BaTHs!

So, Bath time has turned into a nightly ritual at our house. It seems to help Kennley sleep better if she has a bath before bed, and if she sleeps better, WE sleep better. And the best part of it, is she ABSOLUTLEY LOVES it. She is going to be a little fish this summer. The funniest thing to watch is when the faucet is running, she will stick her face in the running water and then just laugh. What a fun age! Man how would it be to be 10 months again! I am enjoying every minute of my baby growing up, but WOW, where does the time go?

Photo Shoot.....

I did a photo shoot for some good friends of mine this last weekend, and they were such good sports cause it was so cold out! Here are just a few of my favorites(for now I will post some pics on my blog until I get one set-up specifically for my shoots) Hope you enjoy, and feel free to send some feedback my way!

Kennley month 9....

WOW, Kennley is 9 month's already.....I can't believe it! She has grown up so much just in the last month. I have to say month 8 was a big one for her. She said Dada and Mama within a couple days of eachother and always repeats it when she see's Brent and I, she started crawling and is all over the place, and got her two top teeth which made four total, and today she broke another tooth on her bottom which will total 5.....she is going to have all her teeth by the time she is one if she keeps breaking them, haha. I absolutly love this age. Kennley is the happiest baby I have ever seen.....with smiles from the minute she wakes up till the minute she goes to bed. She loves to explore more than ever, and man is she a talker.....there is never a quite moment when she is in the room!

Just A Preview.....

I have decided to start my own photography business. I absolutly love takeing pictures, and have such a big passion for it. I am so excited to get things up and running, but for now I have decided to post just a few of the pics I have taken recently, until I can get my own webstite going. Enjoy!

Christmas 2008.......

I know I am a little behind on my post, but things have been so busy with us lately that I haven't had time to do anything, well truthfully I have been too busy playing with my new camera that I got.....ENJOY. We started it all of by spending Christmas Eve at my inlaws(I don't have pics because for some reason my old camera is not uploading)and had a very YUMMY dinner made by mom, opened gifts, and played songs on the chimes.....such a fun Christmas tradition. We missed Carolyn this year, but were able to talk to her Christmas morning from England. We had such a great Christmas Eve with our family and enjoyed all our gifts.

Then on Christmas morning Kennley let us sleep in until 8:30....and that was wonderful. We spent the morning opening gifts from eachother and watching/helping Kennley open her gifts. After the first two presents she opened she didn't care about the toys and other presents, she just wanted to eat the paper. We laughed and finished opening them for her. My parents came over after to see what the kids got, and then we headed up to their house for the rest of Christmas Day. We had another YUMMY Christmas meal made by my mom, and opened more presents. We were all so spoiled this year, and loved everything we received. I just love Christmas....spending time with family, and enjoying fun traditions every year!

Catching Up/Lots of Pics.......

WOW, I have busy lateley and have slacked on my blogging. So I will catch up with everything that has been going on. Thanksgiving was GREAT! We had two dinners. We spent the first part of the day at my parents, and ate a wonderful meal that my mom cooked, and watched the big Turkey Bowl. My team was playing so I couldn't miss it, and of course they WON, yea! We then headed to my in-laws for another wonderful meal cooked by my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. We always love Michelles beans! We don't get to see them very often so when we do it's nice to sit around the table and visit with everyone(this year Carolyn is on a Mission so we missed her.) What a great day to spend with the ones you love. We went home with full belly's!!! Here are a few pics of all the kids on Thanksgiving. They all love Kennley so much and always give her loves.

Aubree and Kennley

Parker and Nolan teaching Kennley to crawl

It's hard to believe my little girl is eight months next week. She is growing so fast and learning new things everyday. I call her my rollie pollie because she rolls everywhere. She hasn't learned to crawl yet, but she does get up on all fours and rocks back and forth,but then decides to roll instead of crawl. We just love watching her play and and listening to her talk and scream at everything.







I watch my friends little girl on Wednesdays and it is so much fun. Aiva just loves Kennley and always wants to hug and kiss her. It's the sweetest thing! I love watching them play together!



On Saurday all of our friends decided to head down to Salt Lake and do dinner and go to the lights at Temple Square. We decided to go to dinner first at the Spaghetti Factory in Trolley Square. Brent and I decided to welcome Rocky into the group by playing a little joke on him. We told the waitress it was his birthday and to come out and sing to him. No one at the table had a clue except Daniell(I had to tell someone) so at the end of dinnner here come all the waiters singing Happy BIrthday. He looked puzzled and had no clue they were singing to him until they put his ice cream in front of him. We all laughed and had a good time with it. Dinner took too long so by the time we were done and out to the car they were shutting the lights off. We were so bummed not to go to Temple Square, but we will for sure try again. I have to say that we have the best group of friends EVER! We always have fun no matter what we are doing. Here is a few pics from dinner, (but none of Brent and I cause we are taking the pics.)
